Perfect location if you want to have sea and beach a few meters away. Saman and his family were really friendly and helpful and took good care of us. Prepared delicious breakfast to start the day. Room was very clean, had a roof fan, A/C, and hot water. Beach chairs outside, as well as outside shower to wash the sea salt off 😄

We stayed here for 4 nights and we loved it. The place does not pretend anything, it has a bed, it has a beach and it has the most beautiful sunset view. Indika is very friendly and helpful. He organized for us even the meal twice a day. We truly recommend the stay at Indika Beach Villa! Martin and Veronika

This was my first home stay and it did not disappoint. Aroshina and her family were so kind and accommodating, making me feel so comfortable. The location is close to Galle. They have a tuk tuk and were happy to offer lifts as needed. The cooking course was also well worth doing. We cooked an array of local dishes, even making our own coconut milk.

This is a family run guesthouse who want their guests to have a great experience. They are very welcoming and friendly. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. My room had a comfortable bed with mosquito nets, a safe, a towel, mirrors, bedside table and light, a fridge and water bottle each day. Breakfast was fruit, scrambled egg, toast with jam and either tea or coffee. The location is fantastic in the centre of Galle fort, surrounded by cafes, restaurants and the tourist attractions are all within easy walking distance and it's quiet at night. I really recommend this lovely place.

    I had an excellent stay at this guest house. Its proximity to a major highway interchange made travel easy, yet the surrounding greenery provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The place was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was both delicious and affordable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this guest house for its convenience, cleanliness, tasty breakfast, and warm hospitality. I'll definitely return.

    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 364 reviews
    Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend

    The room was super nice, quiet, and with the air conditioning always comfortably cool. Ravi, the host, takes very good care of his guests and makes you feel very welcome. Breakfast is served on the balcony with a lovely view and includes a wide variety of fresh fruits, tea, toast and so much more. The guest house is perfectly located as it's close to everything you could want and need. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't recommend the guest house enough.
